There is nothing wrong with taking hiatuses, I believe, but if the author knows her situation is terrible, instead of taking 4 monthly hiatuses in parts, why not take a long one and recover first? I understand the harassment. Believe me, I've seen worse done to artists to the point that they abandon their commission work, but I've also seen them handle it properly, because at the end, it's their loss. And I do think Han-nim is acting a bit naive here. I don't think she deserves the hate, but i wouldn't say she is completely innocent either. As a commission-paid artist, one should know how to handle such stuff, because say it or not, harrasement exists everywhere.
